Honda - Valve (P2) - 36162-HW1-671

I have a 2005 Honda Aquatrax 12RX with Turbo. The turbo was intermittent and eventually just stopped working altogether. In doing research, I did all the checks on the turbo itself to make sure it wasn't frozen and was sipiining fine, which it was. The next thing I was being told by all of the Google mechanics,, etc, was to check the wastegate control diaphragm, (and associated tubing) to ensure that was functioning. Well, that appeared to be working (air compressor test) and was well lubricated and not frozen up either. I had already changed plugs and the gas was new 91 premium. I was stumped. My jetski ran at 55 MPH MAX and the engine ran good, but the Turbo would not engage. I came across Adept Powersports about 10 pages deep on googling what the issue might be and it said if the turbo control valve was not functioning, I would lose about 10 MPH and nearly 1000 RPM's. This was almost exactly my symptoms so I took a gamble and ordered the Turbo Control Valve. Replacement took about 5 minutes and once the new one was installed, my Turbo works and I now get about 70 MPH and slightly higher RPM (not the 1000 but about 300), In any case, this oart did fix the problem and get my turbo running again. I wished I could have found the Google thread last summer instead of wasting hours and hours pulling the turbo apart and checking the wastegate, etc over and over. Good luck on your repair(s).
